The two people standing behind Cheng Shi and helping him up were obviously Gao Ya and Gou Feng, whom he had met again in the trial not long ago.
The soloist who claimed that she would surprise Cheng Shi when they met again fulfilled her promise, and her appearance did surprise Cheng Shi.
As for the chief who swallowed the flesh and blood of the Emissary in an attempt to obtain the power of the gods...he finally fulfilled his wish and became a part of the real Emissary.
Who can say that the Desire Puppet is not part of the Order?
Seeing his former teammate become like this, Cheng Shi felt mixed emotions.
He was not being reluctant, but was feeling sad. He felt sad that the desires of these two teammates were vented in the wrong place. Among so many people and things that could satisfy their desires, why did they have to pick the ancestor of desire...
Now it has completely become a part of desire.
Avros saw Cheng Shi's strange expression and chuckled:
"if you......"
"Thank you, I'm not familiar with it. Let's continue."
Cheng Shi seemed to have guessed what He was going to say. He decisively raised his hand to interrupt Avros's speech, then picked up the stool and sat back.
He looked so skillful, as if he had never met these two teammates before.
Hu Xuan also sat back down, otherwise Cheng Shi would not have dared to sit back down at the table so readily. She looked at the two puppets with interest, and then smiled as well:
"I sense the remnants of Birth. It seems this is still a follower of my Lord."
As she spoke, she glanced at Avros again.
"Are you testing my piety by turning my Lord's followers into puppets in front of me?"
Afros was stunned at first, then he looked at Hu Xuan and burst into laughter.
“Interesting, really interesting.
I finally understood. It turns out that you are not my brother's Miss Sun. On the contrary, my brother is more like your...
Mr. Sun?
You have spared no effort to gain leverage for him from me, are you trying to make him renounce his vows and embrace Him, to become a true... descendant priest?"
"......"
Cheng Shi was speechless.
He was indeed grateful for Hu Xuan's help, but as he had said before, Hu Xuan was not a suitable representative for negotiations because she was too straightforward. Her goals were all laid out on the table, almost as straightforward as her attitude towards wanting a child.
But Cheng Shi was very grateful. In this conversation between the three of them, it was obvious that she was on his side.
That's enough.
But to be honest, Avros is not the hostile party.
Although He, like Hu Xuan, has ideas about Cheng Shi, under the watchful eye of [Fate], this idea may only be implemented slowly.
Hu Xuan did not deny Avros's teasing. She openly admitted that she coveted Cheng Shi, which made Avros smile.
"It seems that we are the same kind of people."
Hu Xuan nodded gracefully: "I admit this in some aspects."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and then looked at Cheng Shi at the same time.
"......"
Cheng Shi was so scared that he felt his current situation was even more stressful than his first audience with the gods.
The air was filled with a mixture of [depravity] and [birth], making people afraid to breathe. He was afraid that after he took a breath, the three people here would directly become four, or even five.
What’s even more terrifying is that you still don’t know in whose stomach the fourth and fifth baby will appear.
Help...Help!
After staring at the two envoys with bated breath for a moment, Cheng Shi finally mustered up the courage to break this extremely awkward situation and started a new conversation.
"Well... you can't become fat in one go. I've heard enough news today. I need to digest it first.
After all, I already know that you can’t get away from here... Um, that’s not what I mean, I mean...”
Just as Cheng Shi was about to change his words, he saw Avros chuckling and moving the umbilical cord blood shackles that were on the table in front of Hu Xuan to Cheng Shi's hand.
“You mean you have the ability to come see me anytime you want, right?
I think your Miss Sun has wanted to give this thing to you for a long time. The reason she didn't do it is just to observe my attitude.
Now you know.
My attitude is very clear. If I can make my brother think of me all the time and even come to see me from time to time, I will naturally be happy.
Of course, if you still want to..."
"I'm willing to accept it." Cheng Shi quickly put away the shackles, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and interrupted Avros's speech. He really didn't dare to let this [Foul] Envoy make any explosive remarks in front of a [Birth] Envoy who longed for a child.
Avros was not surprised at all. He laughed happily but stopped joking.
"Hoo - let's get down to business, Avros.
I don't know if you have a clear understanding of our identity, but I can tell you that in this so-called [nihilistic] era, the Island of Hope has completely become history, and humans like us are the mainstream of this era.
We call ourselves players, and you, whom we meet, are called...
【Game of Faith】
A game about faith!"
"game?"
Avros savored the words slowly, then laughed out loud.
“Sure enough [Nothingness]!
But I need to remind you, my brother, never treat history as history, because it is just different labels that time attaches to different present moments, and it is also a replica that memory fishes out from the sea of recollection.
When they put the things they love in the spotlight, even history can become present.”
Cheng Shi nodded slightly after hearing this. He had also heard this kind of argument from his benefactor [Fraud] before. What it meant was that history is relative and the present is also relative.
In the present world where gods exist, the question of whether the past is history or the future is history has not yet been determined.
But it was obviously useless to dwell on these things. Cheng Shi opened the topic again not to discuss philosophy with Avros, but for some more practical purposes, such as...
What to do with the top players who are still hanging in the dome.
“No matter how you view history, for us, players are the protagonists of the Age of Nothingness.
So, Avros, I want to make a deal with you."
"Oh? What deal?"
"I improvised a script, but it's still missing a lot of actors, so I want you to give my actors..."
Before Cheng Shi finished speaking, Avros started laughing.
He seemed to have guessed what Cheng Shi meant.
